Verliefd, verloofd en gehuwd 1944

Werner Neufang created this page from a photo album with ink and paper in the 1940s. The writing is both confident and ornate, with a sense of formality. The cursive lettering seems to dance on the page, each word carefully rendered with precision. I wonder what Neufang was thinking when he wrote these words, a story of love, engagement, and marriage unfolding against the backdrop of wartime? It's as if the act of writing becomes a way to fix a moment, to hold onto something precious amid chaos. I imagine him pressing the nib of the pen onto the paper, feeling the texture beneath his hand, and carefully shaping each letter. The album page is a reminder that art can be found in the everyday, in the small acts of creativity that help us make sense of the world around us. It invites us to embrace ambiguity, to find meaning in the spaces between the lines, and to recognize that art is always in conversation with itself, echoing and reinterpreting the past in new and unexpected ways.
